Targets GEODIS is committed to playing its part in the decarbonization of the economy and is currently working to set new targets based on a Science-Based Targets (SBT) approach. For the moment, sectoral trajectories corresponding to the most demanding scenario of limiting warming to 1.5°C by the end of the century are not available for all sectors and modes of transport, but the Group is gearing up. Given the relative importance of scope 3 in the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions (92% in 2022), particular attention will be paid to the choice of transport subcontractors and the support they are offered to further amplify the actions already undertaken. In 2018, GEODIS set an ambition to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30% in 2030 compared to 2017 levels. The Group’s entities have taken ownership of this ambition, which has generated tangible targets, monitoring and progress for the Group’s historical reporting perimeters with sufficiently robust accounting in 2017. • The Distribution and Express (D&E) activity set the target of reducing its absolute GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 2017. (ktCO2e) 2017 (reference year) 2020 2021 2022 Target 2030 GHG emissions for scopes 1+2+3* for the Distribution & Express business 447 300 384 439 313 * Scope 3 excludes handling equipment, employee travel and waste treatment. These categories represent less than 3% of emissions in the Distribution & Express line of business’s scope in 2022. The data in this table is on a like-for-like basis with the existing data in 2017, i.e., it does not include the emissions of Gandon, a recently acquired company. After a 14% decrease between 2017 and 2021, greenhouse gas emissions from the D&E business rose in 2022 compared with 2021. This increase is essentially linked to a very high level of activity in courier services and last-mile deliveries, in a context of the growth in e-commerce. The Distribution & Express activity is continuing its actions to optimize energy efficiency and vehicle loading and is accelerating the transition to low-emission vehicles, whether biogas or electric, with 420 new vehicles expected in 2023 to carry out last-mile deliveries. • For its road transport activities, the Group set a target in 2018 to reduce its scope 1 GHG emissions intensity compared to 2017 by 30% by 2030. (gCO2e/km) 2017 (reference year) 2020 2021 2022 Target 2030 GHG emissions for scope 1 for road transport 799 782 783 763 552 The intensity of emissions per kilometer traveled has fallen by 4.5% since 2017 thanks to sustained operational excellence programs (e.g., training in eco-driving and improved vehicle maintenance). In the coming years, this decrease should gain further pace with the progressive introduction of low-carbon technologies. • In its European contract logistics activities, the Group set a target in 2018 of reducing its consumption intensity by 40% by 2030 compared to 2017. (kWh/sqm) 2017 (reference year) 2020 2021 2022 Target 2030 Electricity consumption of warehouse buildings over 1,000 sqm in Europe 32.9 24.8 25.3 24.2 19.7 Contract logistics activities in Europe have lowered their energy consumption intensity by 26% compared to 2017 despite growth in temperature-controlled activity and a trend towards longer operating hours at many sites. The main savings resulted from the replacement of traditional lighting with LED technologies and from other energy efficiency actions. 42 2022 ACTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 03 ENVIRONMENT
